Does anyone else think that John Madden should be pensioned off to allow someone else to commentate on games?

It has got to the point where he has become a parody of himself - you really would be just aswell off plugging in a Playstation2 with Madden2006 ...and turning the TV volume down.

It really is a just a great deal of nonsense that he spouts - and its so full of cliche's and lacks any sort of opinion that he manages to offend NO-ONE with his football theories - only with his gibberish.

Every time I see him stood up in that new fangled, yet awkward way in the studio I am almost convinced that he is just some confused homeless guy who has wandered in off the street for a cup of warm coffee.

Lets have some insight back in football - its one of the most tactically astute games in existence - why must be put up with lame brains telling us the obvious all the time?

Cheers

They've been great for a while now, three Super Bowls' worth of great. But only this season have the New England Patriots become The Show, the must-see team of stars, pretty boys and reformed bad boys. Suddenly, the Patriots are not simply great; they're compelling, fascinating, appearing to be almighty and a touch lawless.
The Patriots didn't bother with swagger to start this NFL season; they went straight to defiant. Either you're one of them or you're about to get crushed.

mayne that's why i watch the games on mute and just listen to music cause he says some pointless stuff that makes me want to drop kick him in the mouth. since i don't really watch sunday night football next year i won't have to worry about him cause he'll be on nbc.

He's a bit of a sacred cow, though. I hope he doesn't get as bad as his old partner Summerall. Towards the end, Pat didn't even know what down it was...sometimes I'm not even sure he knew what teams he was watching. Man, when he was younger, though, Pat Summerall was a top notch commentator...

Yes the day has come to let that man move on. Listening to him makes you wonder so much of what the hell he's talking about, that you forget about the game. He's had his day, now lets find a new voice to commentate those fine Steeler victories.

Once Pat Summerall got sober he went downhill real fast.

All kidding aside I still remember way back before Madden when it was Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshire.
Those two made a great team.

i like the way that dude on madtv those the impressions of him, the way he just rambles with his pointless stories, like what was the point this monday night of showing the age differences with gibbs, larry brown and a few other coaches? i don't care about that, talk about the damn game that is being played.
